Mosley, who admitted to taking steroids inadvertently before he fought Oscar De La Hoya in 2003, said he wouldn’t insist upon Olympic-style testing if he were to beat Mayweather and open negotiations to fight Manny Pacquiao.
“I don’t even want to deal with that type of stuff,” he said. “If the commission or whatever wants that type of testing, I’ll do it. If not, whatever. I’m just ready to fight.”

Mosley is a real warrior and he's trying to build up his legacy. He ain't scared of anything and will fight anybody on the top of his weight division.
Mad props to Shane Mosley...
Floyd never made the allegations his father did. Floyd didn't excatly deny them. You obviuosly feel Manny is a great fighter. I don't think floyd has any reason to duck manny, especially since manny has problems with boxers. The PED testing IMO was initiated by floyd to see hif he could increase his overall percenatge of the money.
Long before 10mil per lb and PED testing the issue most experts cited as the reason this fight wouldn't happen was money and how it was divided. You may disagree. I think manny has deserves every accolade he received. But he is not scaring Floyd. Nothing he has done in the ring would scare any great boxer.
I don't care what theories might have surrounded in what it didn't lead to. I just want them to fight.
This now has become he said, she said thing (ok, Who is the she?) hehehhe
Don't care. I want both to fight. But to attack one fighter and not the other is really prejudiced. Pacquiao have issues too but he is the p4p champ....Floyd have tons of issues.
Who cares, those are reserved for soap operas....
Let them fight.
I get it. you are a pac fan that just wants floyd to get his A$$ kicked. Maybe shane will. If not, then manny can get a chance.
How about this, New York requires random ost tesing on blood and urine, floyd and pac fight at madison square garden, new york state gives both a tax break. That way I get what I want (random testing of both fighters) you get what you want (manny taking comission required tests) both fighters get paid and we see a great fight.
Just be careful. Floyd is tougher than you give him credit.
Not really....I am a Floyd fan in the ring but not his attitude. pacquiao fan because of his bravado. I want both to fight.
why not have manny do his own dirty work. I would think EVERY manny fan would want floyd to win big then manny to whoop his a$$. seems manny fans want him to ose so he doesn't have to fight floyd. Interesting!
Well, I like Floyd and I also like Pacquiao. I'd say I like Mayweather more because he's been plying his trade at an elite level a few years longer; but Manny is exciting and seems like an alright guy.
I'd rather see Mayweather-Pacquiao but I have serious doubts it'll ever happen, regardless of who wins.
If Floyd suffered his first defeat at Mosley's hands; it'd be huge. Epic. It's hard not to give the rematch some attention. I mean, Floyd has to win big to even save face, and even at that he'd have to turn over a new career leaf on doing more than winning comfortable decisions to be the stuff of legend; it'd be an uphill battle.
Regardless, if Shane Mosley can beat Floyd I say 'Rumble, Old Man, Rumble!' and that Mosley makes Floyd's ass wait. I'm not sure how the rematch clause works, but I'd want to see Shane make the best of his win and get a shot at Manny.
If he can beat Floyd, I'd say he has a real chance against Manny- I'd be game. So, I voted for Mosley-Pacquiao.

If Floyd wanted all that money.. he should have drop OST or accepted 24day cut off..
Or manny could tell bob to shut the f#ck up and stop making an innocent man look guilty. Then manny can decide for himself if he is gonna take the test or not.

Yeah that is what I believe. Neither fighter is in their prime which makes this a competive fight. There is no other way to look at that. It's not like Mayweather is 25 and Mosley is 38.
Neither is it that Mosley is 38 and Floyd is 38. Floyd is almost as close to 25 as he is to 38.
Floyd agreed because he wants the fights that bring him the most money. He wasn't gonna let something like 2lbs stand in the way of $25-40 mil.

No, but doesn't have to agree with it. That is why it is a CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT but it isn't a policy.
So why did Floyd agree? That's his prerogative.

do you feel the same way about manny's $10mil per lb clause? Nevada already has rules in place for fighters who don't make weight.
No, but doesn't have to agree with it. That is why it is a CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT but it isn't a policy.

I can co-sign this. You made some good points btw. This is why I'm not mad at Pac because there are so many people to blame for the sport beign the way it is.
I don't blame manny either. I blame Bob. I get tired of the all the BS. the pactard flomo crap. I think real boxing fans know the truth about floyd and bob. But fans who just got hip to floyd after the odh fight and pac fans who jsut got hip to him after the 2nd jmm fight have no real clue about the history.
Floyd didn't duck, manny 's not dirty, and BOB IS A GREEDY A$$HOLE!!!
Which if you live in NY you know is quite ridiculous.
im in jersey so I do know. BTW, the rick ross kamala sig is as funny as the flomo pactard homer lil brain sig. f#ckin hysterical.
Because to clean it up would hurt the bottom line profits. Going from 15-12 rounds didn't hurt the money. Random testing is another exspense and if god forbid the boxer who is the man (like ali, tyson, odh, leonard) tests positive it would hurt the sport.
Floyd aint trying to clean up the sport. Yes he is being a a$$hole. You are right it is only about this fight and that is sad. But I'm hopeful an athletic commission looks at it more thouroghly(like New York is doing). I think this is the key.
In a way its like rosa parks.she was a tired old woman who wasn't planning to start change she just wanted to sit down. Floyd is just being floyd. Hopefully the smart people in boxing will look past the antics and develop real measures to clean the sport up.

I get your point mate.
So i think it's safe to say Shane's speaking like how boxers from past generations to present play it like it is, the standard until something's amended.
People sometimes look at things a little too black and white (especially on this site). All these fighters who agree to update the Testing protocols won't go out of their way to tell their promoters to mandate any new tests, but we all aren't going to assume them as cheaters or them not wanting to take the OST's either. It makes the athlete that much more suspicious if they go against tests the State commissions mandate. In the case of them adding OST as a standard to their testing, I find it hard to believe anyone would simply be totally against it being if they don't test, they don't fight, thus they don't get paid.
